It is no surprise that we all love freebies. It is one of our all time culture quirks. Whether it’s birthday freebies or airline freebies, we’re always on the lookout for good deals. Well, now you can add free workouts to the list, as all ActiveSG gyms and pools have free entry on the 10th of every month until the end of the year.
As part of ActiveSG’s 10 year anniversary, they are celebrating by offering free entry to their gyms and pools on the 10th of every month. So, until the end of 2024, you’re left with these 4 dates to enjoy the freebie:
This applies to all ActiveSG gyms and ActiveSG pools, and you can just walk into the facilities anytime as the gantries are always open. Just make sure you’re dressed in the proper gym or swim attire and have a towel with you.
Touch wood, in case of bad weather triggering a lightning alert, the outdoor pools will be closed. You can stay posted on the latest weather conditions on the NEA weather forecast webpage. Some facilities will also be closed on certain dates for maintenance works, which you can check beforehand on the ActiveSG website.
Once this deal has run its course, new users signing up for a free membership for the first time can do so through MyActiveSG+ and receive $100 worth of credits. Kindly note that this promo applies only to Singaporeans and PRs.
To get the most out of this freebie, we have compiled some of the best ActiveSG gyms and pools in Singapore that we feel are worth your while. Most of them have both pools and gyms, so you can kill 2 birds with 1 stone, and burn more calories in a single visit.
Rock climbing enthusiasts can climb away at ActiveSG Hockey Village in Boon Lay, which has a cool mini rock wall as a fun way to test your upper body. It also has a nice vibe to it with green walls adorned with neon lights to inject a more outdoorsy vibe. Sticking true to its name, there are 2 hockey fields, and one of them can even be converted into a futsal court.
You won’t find a gym where the phrase, “the bigger, the better” rings any truer than the one at ActiveSG Bukit Canberra. Spanning 1,500sqm, it’s the biggest ActiveSG gym in Singapore, and is stacked with plenty of free weights, cable machines, and cardio devices. It also has HUR machines, which use air pressure as resistance instead of normal weights, suitable for newbies and the elderly.
There are also 4 swimming pools at the nearby complex, with 2 indoor and outdoor pools each. After your workout, you can refuel nearby at the Bukit Canberra Hawker centre, which is just a minute’s walk away.
At ActiveSG Jurong Lake Gardens, you won’t even feel like you’re working out inside a gym, but rather outside, with the huge floor-to-ceiling windows offering lots of greenery. There’s a range of workout equipment, from cardio machines to even a tyre flipping area if you’re looking to switch things up.
Once done with your workout, you can cool off in the lap pools outside. There is also a mini wet playground area for the kiddos to have a splash.
Heartbeat @ Bedok has an open-air sheltered pool where you can still get your laps in whether rain or shine. When it’s sunny, swimming buffs can use the 8-lane competition pool outside, while kids can muck about at the kids’ interactive swimming pool, with water sprayers and slides to boot.
There is also a gym upstairs with features like a TRX studio, as well as equipment like punching bags, battle ropes, and kettlebells to perform your own Rocky training montage.
Having a splashing good time in Wild Wild Wet is all fine and dandy until you’re a Westie. Now, you can save both time and money at Jurong West. It has 2 50m-long pools and a huge kids’ play pool. Slide down the 3-storey water slide, or run around the playground for a fun time. There is even a jacuzzi at the side for adults to dip in while watching over.
As for the gym, it is a pretty spacious space to workout. Other than the typical workout areas, it has an exclusive ladies-only corner too, where you can feel safe and assured.
So now that you know what to do on the 10th of every month, better start clearing your schedule and start laying out a workout plan. After all, it’s not everyday that you have the luxury of going to both pools and gyms without paying a dime.
If all-day accessibility is what you want, check out these 24-hour gyms. If you’re on a budget, there are still many cheap gym packages, or even free fitness corners around your hood to workout in.
